Yeah it'll be a ATA 2.5 inch jobby.

When you get the new hard drive, you will need to fit it into your existing HD caddy.

It'll either be IDE or SATA, best bet is to take it out and find out.

When I looked earlier on it looks like it first came out in 2003, if it was that one it will be ide, taking it out would be best bet though, you'll have to do that to swap them anyway.
